I’ve got a column that has data like this:
[{"Tags":"action"},{"Tags":"sci-fi"},{"Tags":"violence"},{"Tags":"youngadult"}]
I’d like to just extract the words, “action”, “sci-fi”, “violence”, “youngadult” so I can turn this into a multi-select column.
Any idea how I can use a formula or automation to do this? Thanks in advance!

This can be done by using a nested collection of SUBSTITUTE()
functions to remove the pieces you don’t want. Here’s what I did:
SUBSTITUTE(
SUBSTITUTE(
SUBSTITUTE(
SUBSTITUTE(
SUBSTITUTE(Tags, '{"Tags":', ""),
"]", ""),
"[", ""),
'"', ""),
"}", "")
